To Agha Shahid Ali

Tribute to Agha Shahid Ali, the poet of exile, who immortalized Kashmir's pain. His verses echo the yearning for home and the struggle of a displaced heart.

ON A LONG ROAD

"On a long road, there is no companion. Only memories accompany me all through. Moments of love pierce like a dagger and a pool of blood flows out," writes the poet.

WALKING ALONE

"In a crowd of people, I am walking alone. Talking to myself and sifting truth from falsehood, I am lost in myself," writes the poet.

GET LOST

"As they entered paradise, I tried to follow, But the angels stopped me. Calling out to my companions, Luckily, they heard me."

HAMLET OF MEMORIES

Embark on a nostalgic journey through memories in this evocative poem. Reflect on companionship, solitude, and the transient nature of existence.

SOCIETY IS THE CIRCLE

Exploring societal paradoxes through verse: from the privileged's 'right' to the oppressed's plight, a call for unity and justice.

WINDS OF LONGING

In this heartfelt poem, the wind carries a longing message from a place of suffering to a distant life of hope, seeking solace amidst a world of pain and deception.

BRUTAL WORLD

"I wander in search of order in this brutal world. Where humanity is killed by its people over trivial matters!"
